Yakum Hairshashishi

Yakum Hairshashishi is a Dark Elf rogue and Ashlander living in Pelagiad, hanging out at the Halfway Tavern.

He used to live a traditional nomadic ashlander lifestyle as a herder, however life on the steppes has become increasingly difficult due to ever-present ash-storms. These storms are killing the grass and spreading the dreaded Blight among animals. Finding his situation impossible to withstand anymore, Yakum decided to abandon his nomadic lifestyle and settled in Pelagiad. Now working at a steady job, he is hoping to adapt into the lifestyle of his settled brethren.

He still has difficulties with the language of the settled Dunmer ("Old Elf", as he calls it), preferring to speak his native Ashland dialect. If you have a low Speechcraft skill, he has difficulty understanding you and discussion will be limited to generic topics. If your Speechcraft skill is over 30, he will be much friendlier and quite happy that somebody understands him. Furthermore he will tell you a little about himself, as well as the current state of affairs among his people.

Yakum wears a chitin cuirass, netch leather greaves, boots, and shield along with a common shirt and pants. He carries a random Ashlander weapon. Aside from his natural resistance to fire and the sanctuary provided by his ancestors, he knows no spells.

Dialogue

• Greeting:

On the first time speaking:

"Hello. Yakum. Speak Ashland. Old Elf, not so good speak."

(With Speechcraft >= 30) "Ah. You understand me a bit, yes? Hello, %PCName. Yakum greet you. Bless and be blessed. Speak Old Elf, yes, so Yakum learn. You know Ashlanders, yes, a little. Yakum is Ashlander." (Disposition up by 20)

Subsequent greetings:

"What. Yakum. Me? Speak Ashland. Not speak so good Old Elf. Sorry?"

(With Speechcraft >= 30) "Again, hello, %PCName. Bless and be blessed."

• Ashlanders:

(Disposition at least 50) "We are the People of the Wastes. We hunt and herd guar. We live the Law and honor the Ancestors. No houses. Just yurts. I was a herder, but now I want to become rich, like a great trader. I will live in a town, fight, find treasure, get rich, learn to trade. The soul sickness and blight storms are very bad now in the Ashlands, so I came to Pelagiad. Now I live in a big house and work for men who pay gold."

• blight storms:

(Disposition at least 50) "There is bad magic in the dust from Red Mountain. The grass dies, the kwama and guar go mad, bite and fight. These are very hard times for the tribes, so the tribes go raiding. Here there is not blight, and I live in big house and get rich and soft like a fat trader."

• Soul sickness:

(Disposition at least 50) "There's bad magic in the dust from Red Mountain. The Sharmat Dagoth Ur sends bad dreams in the dust. The people can't sleep, act crazy. When the blight storms come, soul sickness comes -- both together. When I lived in the ashlands, I got no sleep had bad dreams, was all the time tired. Now that I'm here in Pelagiad, I sleep fine."

After you have defeated Dagoth Ur:

(Disposition at least 50) "No more dust from Red Mountain. No more bad dreams. Yes?"
